Okay, but if parent A sends the kid to look for parent B, and the kid finds B covering their eyes, will they come back to A and say they couldn’t find B?

If you then ask something like, “Where didn’t you see B?” will they be able to answer, “I didn’t see B in the parlour.” (With the candlestick.)

According to the HHGG, the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is so mind-bogglingly stupid that it thinks that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you. Therefore, the best defense against a Bugblatter Beast is to wrap a towel around your head.

The hiding thing is a classic behavior in kittens as well. But since you can’t ask them about it, I’m going to stick with my prior that kittens are just retarded.

Isn’t there a scene in one of the Hitchhiker’s Guide books where a tiger or something wraps a scarf around its head so that people cannot see him?
